Vehicle lifting apparatus comprises a van (1), having a rear or side door opening therein, the lifting apparatus including a generally planar, load support portion (12) which is movable between a storage position (A, C) interior of the vehicle (1) and an operative position (B) exterior of the vehicle. In the operative position (B), the load support portion (12) lies in a generally horizontal plane substantially normal to that of the vehicle opening, with the support portion (12) being movable between its storage position (A, C) and its operative position (B) via an intermediate, inoperative position exterior of the vehicle (1). In this inoperative position, the load support portion (12) lies in a generally vertical plane substantially normal to that of the opening to provide substantially unobstructed access through the opening to the vehicle interior. The lifting apparatus preferably comprises a parallelogram-type raising and lowering portion (9 9') operated by a piston cylinder arrangement (8, 8'), the load support portion (12) being pivotally movable between its intermediate and operative positions with respect to the raising and lowering portion. <IMAGE> |
